ICP-MS Premium Analysis

ATI ICP-MS Ultimate Analysis

With the ATI Laboratory Analysis ICP-MS Ultimate, you achieve the highest possible accuracy in all areas through the combination of ICP-OES and ICP-MS, offering our most comprehensive analysis. The ATI Laboratory Analysis Ultimate offers numerous advantages:

• Higher accuracy and significantly lower detection limits down to ultra-trace levels through ICP-MS (e.g., manganese, selenium, vanadium, arsenic, etc.) – element-specific detection is possible down to 0.001 µg/l (compared to ICP-OES detection limits of 0.5 – 3.5 µg/l depending on the element).
• Earlier detection of contaminants: Enables quicker responses to prevent issues from arising.
• Double-validated results: Many values are measured using both ICP-OES and ICP-MS, and are cross-checked for consistency, ensuring measurement errors are more effectively ruled out.
• Expanded element portfolio (so-called MS trace elements* and MS contaminants*): Rubidium, neodymium, zirconium, and more.
• The most suitable measurement method is used for each water parameter – for example, bulk elements are measured with ICP-OES, while trace and ultra-trace elements are analyzed with ICP-MS.

With precise measurement from bulk elements to ultra-trace elements, the ATI Laboratory Analysis ICP-MS Ultimate achieves unprecedented accuracy.
 

The analysis values in the table include:

• Salinity (salt content in PSU)
• KH (carbonate hardness/alkalinity)
• Nutrients: Nitrogen/Nitrate, Phosphorus/Phosphate
• Bulk elements: Sodium, Calcium, Chloride, Magnesium, Sulfur, Potassium, Bromine, Strontium, Boron, Fluoride
• OES trace elements: Barium, Iron, Iodine, Lithium, Molybdenum, Silver, Silicon
• OES contaminants: Aluminum, Antimony, Beryllium, Bismuth, Cadmium, Lanthanum, Thallium, Titanium, Tungsten

*MS trace elements/contaminants – elements measured only with ICP-MS at very low, physiologically active levels.

How ATI Laboratory Analyses Work:

1. Register at lab.atiaquaristik.com, create an aquarium profile, and scan the QR code to activate the analysis.
2. Fill your aquarium water into the sample tubes included in the analysis kit.
3. Attach the barcodes to the dry tubes and send them to the address provided on the included card.
4. We will confirm the receipt of your sample by email.
5. Once your sample is analyzed, you will receive another email with a link to the results and detailed recommendations.
